yeah a lot of cars have around 20-30rwkw.

you notice it alright because its due to the added timing etc, so not just outright power, power all through the rev range

Ah BS, I had close to another 25rw/kw added to mine and I coudn't even tell, you're doing VERY well to notice 20 killer wasps I tell ya now. :D

I give it another 2 years until they start phasing out 98 ron :D

I don't think so - alot of performance and euro cars need 98 fuel.

- But you "could be" possibly onto something, one way of masking detonation is to add more ethanol to 95 fuel - Which is crap as this is ethanol has a lower BTU and we are all still paying the same price at the pump :)

Benno - can you confirm that this is good as the shell product.....do you recommend a retune?

"premium100 is currently only available in Albury & Bayswater in Victoria. "

Bah, it was so handy when it was 10 minutes drive away. Why Albury?????

I reckon a re-tune would be needed as it would run leaner given the 3.55% oxygen content, not to mention specific gravity differences (fuel mass etc).....

At least its going to be next year before we need to worry.

PFC users if you cant find 100ron and your tuned around 100ron you can use the temp IGN adjust to back out say 4 to 5deg IGN timing

this should stop the main bulk of detonation on full load when using 98ron fuel. i would only use this as a temporary measure (hence the term "temp ign adjust") and get it retuned properly. the temp ign adjust feature is covered in the PFC FAQ and it resets itself when you power the car off (so you need to set it each time).

Wow my track days just went up by $400. Fark dat!!!

Looks like a trip to Bayswater every track day is in order to get united 100. I know my car was tuned on it so there is noting wrong with the stuff.

Only problem is I bet united follow suit with shell. Which is going to leave sunoco at $7 p/l looking like a fair option :(

With all the fuel sharing going on I wouldn't be surprised....however Shell lists the eth content as 5% whereas United lists theirs as 10% so maybe they are different fuels.

bad news is united is 72km round trip for me :P

its good.. similar to VPR. but has 5% more ethanol so the AFRs will be a little leaner hence need to retune atleast the fuel mixtures (esp if you are running close to 12already)

i am running mobil98 right now. its good.

This really sux.

My GTR is tuned for 100 RON V Power Racing and it is far more responsive than any of the 98 options around.

Looks like I will have to go back to BP Ultimate and a trip to the dyno for a re-tune.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
